Avocent® DSView™ Management Software Secure, Remote Infrastructure Management Control

Business Challenges Benefits The collaborative mission of IT and data center operations is to support business initiatives. IT add data center operations face overhead and productivity challenges, including: Features y Geo-dispersed data centers or branch infrastructure, requiring professional “hands-on”.

y Unified, secure “hands-on” control y Heterogeneously equipped or merger-acquired data centers — inconsistently managed via a of remote infrastructure patch-work of discrete and/or siloed vendor products. y Location independence activity: • Triage, diagnostics and y Lights out data centers, requiring “hands-on” management within physical isolation. root-cause-analysis • Disaster recovery Solution Overview • SLA Management • Application usage Avocent® DSView™ Management Software helps your IT and data center operations teams overcome these challenges by providing secure sessions to remotely locate data center y Control blade & virtual servers infrastructure controls. Through usage of innovative Avocent® appliances, off-network controls and service processors are network enabled for secured web-browser sessions via DSView: y Native host KVM web interface y Keyboard/video/mouse (KVM) controls of a standard server. y HTML5 KVM and Serial viewers y Telnet/Putty serial interfaces y Serial port (Telnet, Putty or proprietary) controls of a server, network, SAN or Rack PDU. y Session log, report and archive y Proprietary connection to service processor. y Data Center Zone definitions y Schedule and on-demand y MIB-based controls to infrastructure like Intelligent Rack PDU. firmware management As a stand-alone solution, DSView delivers secured web-browser enabled sessions of on-network y Logically bridges virtual media to remote infrastructure infrastructure controls. As an IT integrated solution, DSView delivers secured web-browser enabled sessions to Virtual Machines (VMware, MS Hyper V and Citrix ). y Shares RPM data center model y Hub-and-spoke architecture As an industry proven secure, remote infrastructure management control solution, DSView has y Out of box authentication evolved a valued collection of product features, such as: y Web secure 2048 SSL certificate y Secured, remote management control of data center infrastructure via KVM, serial and y Two factor authentication service processor for: • “Hands-on” management and operational state monitoring (device state, power Benefits consumption, temperature) in real-time and as a polled device threshold event.
